Store Manager - San Jose

San Jose, CA / *Shops* / Full-time

Smitten is a pledge to ice cream. We serve the freshest, smoothest scoops made with only unprocessed, real, locally sourced ingredients fresh-churned by Smittens one-of-a-kind Brrr ice cream machine.

In 2009, on a mission to reengineer ice cream from the ground up, founder and CEO Robyn Sue Fisher invented and patented her own ice cream machine that could churn ultra-smooth scoops in about 90 seconds.

She put Smitten on the map when she placed her custom-built Brrr machine atop a Radio Flyer wagon and started selling her churned-to-order ice cream on the streets of San Francisco to the crowds that gathered, soon building a cult-like following.

Touted by Vogue as The freshest, if not the best, ice cream on Earth, and featured in a vast array of media, from Food & Wine and Forbes to Wired and TechCrunch, Smitten is setting the bar for mastery of the perfect scoop.

Smitten is available at five popular retail shops in Northern California and for delivery nationwide.

Robyn Sue and the Smitten crew continue to trailblaze the path of making fresh ice cream with the highest integrity. Store Manager Responsibilities
